Observations

Across all four renders, bold black tattoo designs dominate monochrome close-up portraits and body shots. Heavy outlines, dense black fills, graphic symbols, and grotesque or fantastical figures give the illustrative style a high-contrast, dark, surreal character.

Colours

Earlier versions

Same code, different picture. Midjourney changed how it reads SREF codes after V6.1, so V8.2 turns this code into a new style. The old one still works: add  or .
